Gratitude and A Positive Mental Attitude.
I’m the one on the right in the Grinch pants and purple top. I also weigh more than 270 at the time. This was taken in 2012 at our annual Christmas crawl. What a great time we had.
That was then-
This is now-
Christmas 2018
I just changed the hours I eat. The 8 hr diet works!
I applied to be the social and marketing vendor at yoga & mediation facility in Plainville, CT. The owner, a young petite woman advertised for only one year experience so I knew I was good with that -sInce I’m on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook! Oh my!
On the day after Christmas 2018 I showed up with my homework. I wanted to discuss how to use yoga to help different age groups and how I could help her with social media but after a few minutes this happened:
She read both tweets and asked for the photo. “You didn’t ask for a photo you asked for the words but If I’m the photographer too then, I’d a use photo of downward dog. “
She then said “you’re too old to do this. You are just too old “
I told her it was against the law.
“I’m getting angry. I’m getting really angry.” She kept repeating that phrase. I thought I had landed in the twilight zone.
But, in the end she hired me for one day-and that day turned into her wanting my marketing ideas and I was told about how crazy she can be. Yelling at employees-if they turn up the heat because her father will yell at her since he owns the business.
Oh and I sent her my marketing ideas. If she uses them and I will know-I think I can sue.
As I was seeing a friend out the door, my dog noticed the cookies wrapped in paper and sitting on a ledge. He grabbed it and ate one cookie.
I called two dog friends—both of them didn’t answer. So, I put it on Facebook to call me and both called-at the same time.
Needless to say Barb calmed me down and gave me food ingredient advice. Sharon provided all the phone numbers to the vets if need be-and they both were there for me.
Then, I called my friend Anne and she called me back too! I truly appreciate how attentive my friends were to me in a crisis.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The Cookie! it’s very tasty!
And so I drive to a Consignment Shop drop off a client’s baby clothes. She takes nothing so I ask her for help with the bins and boxes.
She opens my car door takes one look at the tables inside and they are at the shop looking for a buyer now. She asked for more. Yeah!!!

Yes, I’m on a new way of living. Staying ON THE DIET four or five days of the week I don’t eat befor 11 or Noon. Drinking two coffees black and then switching to tea helps to keep me full until noon. Then it’s a big salad, chicken and something sweet. See, with this diet you eat whatever you want for the 8 hrs and then only black coffee, tea or water. I’ve gone from a 3x ( yeah I can’t believe it myself) to an XL.
Now on to that L.
The new me is less one chin!
See, one less chin! Snickers and I (Or is it me?) at Christmas 2018.
my dog Snickers is on my lap softly snoring as I write this. This is what life is like. Just being thankful for everything in life.
